Stage 06 Enns Cycle Path Steyr - Enns

From Steyr, it is possible to cycle to Austria’s oldest town, Enns, on either side of the river. We have chosen the route on the Upper Austrian side. We therefore leave Steyr heading north towards Dornach, where at the TIC Steyr (Technology & Innovation Centre) there is also the option of crossing to the right bank into Lower Austria. Our route continues along the high bank via Staning and Plaik to Kronstorf. At the entrance to Unterhaus we turn left into a residential street, ride through a small stretch of forest, and reach Thaling.

We now follow the cycle path onwards to the town of Enns with its historic centre. Our cycle tour through three provinces and an incredibly diverse landscape ends here at the railway station. Six days that began in the rugged, mighty mountains, took us through the Gesäuse, and finally brought us to the town of Enns. Accompanied all the way by culinary delights, warm-hearted people, and historic sights.

In Enns, it is worth riding the short distance to the ferry across the Danube to Mauthausen, and from there following the Danube Cycle Path upstream to Linz. Once in Linz, European Capital of Culture 2009, the Austrian Federal Railways provide a convenient return connection to our starting point in Radstadt/Flachau.
